Since I have great confidence in the rating officer, I am prepared to defer to his judgment as stated above, I think it might be noted that Mr. Randall has indeed come along very nicely in his present assignment. I believe he is eminently well qualified to perform his current job, I believe that his talents and experience are better utilized in his current assignment then they would be in a more direct operational, i.e., agent handling and10 February 1974Deputy Chief, FR DivisionOFFICIAL TITLE OF REVIEWING OFFICIALWalter L.BrionSIGNATURESECRET
